Through her work, Armida encourages children to find their voice, recognize their worth, and understand that no matter their age, they have the power to make a meaningful impact in the world. This conversation with Armida Espinoza reminds us that self-negotiation isn’t just a skill — it’s a foundation for resilience, empathy, and authentic confidence. In this episode, you will learn: Why it’s critical to start learning at a very young age. How can parents or educators support kids in developing their skills? How does the book help children negotiate with fears and uncertainties when they are faced with unfamiliar experiences or environments to learn new things.

265: Negotiating Women’s Voice & Power (including feminine rage & resilience)
Beneath the surface of women's stories lies a quiet strength that has been forged over centuries of survival, sacrifice, and silence. It is in this crucible that feminine rage is born—not as destruction, but as a fire of truth, resilience, and reclamation. Throughout history, women have navigated the tightropes of expectation and repression, often negotiating their power in whispers, coded language, or behind closed doors. In this episode, we journey into that space where voice meets power, where anger transforms into agency, and where stories become tools for liberation. Join your host Cindy Watson as she sits down with Gwen Tuinman—a compelling storyteller whose roots trace back to Irish tenant farmers and English Quakers. Gwen brings a rich tapestry of heritage, soul-searching insight, and a deep fascination with human tenacity to her work. Known for writing about women navigating the social constraints of their time, she sheds light on the intersection of feminine rage, resilience, and voice. In this conversation, Cindy and Gwen explore what it means to negotiate women’s power—both in the past and present. Together, they explore how repressed feelings like anger can be transformed into strength and how, in a society that has long attempted to stifle feminine truth, storytelling can restore agency. This episode promises to inspire and provoke thought, regardless of your interests—whether you're a history buff, a justice activist, or someone trying to discover your own voice. Key takeaways: How women should negotiate their identities and safety. What are the parallels in the lives of women today. How a story can be a negotiation tool. How can women reclaim quieter forms of power. Negotiating our own sense of self-worth and the value we hold within society. How to negotiate with your anger. And many more!
